Loving What Is - An Exploration Into The Hips

Understanding leads to acceptance. This 3 hour mini retreat will explore the anatomical, emotional, and psychic/spiritual dimensions of the hips.

The information you learn in this workshop will serve to inform and enrich your yoga practice, bring awareness to habitual patterns that may be contributing to psychical discomfort, and help to create a safe space to explore some of our deeper help emotions.

Long hours of sitting, physical exercises such as running as biking, and emotional stress and tension can often result in tight hips. Other times, what we experience as ‘tightness’ is merely our natural skeletal structure. Understanding what the state of your hips are will lead to the ability to skillfully and effectively work with them leading to greater space, freedom and happiness in the body, as well a the mind.

To match the increasing demand for yoga, more and more yoga centers are opening all the time. For those of us looking for something new, or just starting out for the first time, the choices can be daunting. As you search for a yoga style that suits you, if you don't find the right yoga style or teacher right away, then keep looking. With so many options you're bound to find something soon enough.

I drop a comment each time I appreciate a post on a site or I have something to contribute to the conversation. It is triggered by the passion communicated in the post I looked at. And after this article Bow Down Yoga with Sofi Dillof, advanced certified Jivamukti instructor : Loving What Is - An Exploration Into The Hips. I was actually excited enough to drop a thought :-) I actually do have a few questions for you if you do not mind. Could it be only me or does it look like like some of the comments appear like written by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing on other social sites, I'd like to follow you. Would you list all of all your communal pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

After checking out a handful of the blog posts on your web page, I seriously like your way of blogging. I saved as a favorite it to my bookmark website list and will be checking back in the near future. Please visit my web site too and tell me your opinion.

Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they just don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

" The underlying theme in all my classes is devotion. I believe that the amount of happiness and freedom we experience in our lives is deeply linked to our ability to dedicate ourselves to something greater then our own personal gain. Through devotion we are able to reconnect with the Infinite wisdom that
dwells within the heart of each one of us."

In her classes, workshops and retreats, Sofi combines a deep understanding of sacred Yoga texts with creative asana sequencing, chanting, music and meditation to provide students with an enriching and heart-opening experience. Her goal is to clearly communicate the traditional ancient teachings of Yoga in a way that will assist students to understand and reflect upon them so that they can be used to enrich their daily lives and lead them to their True Nature of Oneness.
